Gen1 Shockwave by KrisSmithDW on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

"Shockwave"

(EDIT: I noticed had forgotten to shade his knee-joint so I did that, and after I did that I decided while I was at it to do a few tweaks on the lineart by thickening a few edges to separate things and I re-did the shadow under him and blurred the "smoke" a bit for a nicer look. So this is an "updated" version of it.)

10,000 PAGEVIEW CELEBRATION!!

Just today my counter actually passed 10,000 pageviews, which I never thought I'd see happen. I've seen a few people do an illustration to mark certain pageview numbers (every thousand, etc) so I figured 10,000 was a good number to celebrate :-P I wanted to get something up here to mark the occasion, and because it's been awhile since I posted any coloured Transformers artwork. It was an itch that needed to be scratched!

Also, this is kinda special to me because this is the first fully finished piece of Transformers art where I've not had to rely on any 3D set-up work or cel-rendering help, this was totally straight from a hand sketch into Flash. I used to find TFs far to hard to draw properly just free hand, I've always been more of an "organic" penciller. But I think I'm comin' around now :-P

From the original "Generation One" era of the Transformers series, Shockwave is the logic-obsessed Decepticon left in charge of their home-planet of Cybertron during Megatron's marooning on Earth. Good ol' One-Eye :-P

(So technically my DevArt page is "Over 9000"? Yeah, I know, I'm a total geek :-P )
